This is NO joke. 3rd time, JULY once again I'm playing on line poker and my Mrs runs in the house, and said its back, so I run out, cause its so quick, and this time it only travelling exactly above my house in a straight line towards the coast, crafty little UFO, I know of 12 witnesses who have seen this orange light in Eastbourne, this month between 9.55pm-11.30pm (July 2009) you can contact me at [removed].

TV/Radio: This was reported on teletext BBC 160 regional news, "Coast guards warned people to be careful of letting off Chinese lanterns," as they were thought to be the cause of a false alarm SOS flare spotted off the coast of Sussex.

UFOINFO Note: I asked the witness what was his opinion regarding what he saw and the possibility of it being Chinese Lanterns and received the following reply:

Hi John,

This orange light has travelled over my property 3 times in the last 2 months. No way is it a Chinese lantern, every time I see it I try to suss it out, and I can't, it is 100% non-human. This orange light is appearing every where, reason being it can travel so fast, i've seen it zoom off in another direction, it also know's when you are watching it, cause when we tried to film it, it zooms off, if I seen it once-fair enough, it could be a lantern, but once I shouted at it, and it slowed down (when it was 50 foot away from me), I crapped it, that was the second I seen, the 3rd time - I shouted at it again but when it was further away from me, and it stopped and zoomed off into another direction, WE ARE NOT ALONE. I spoke to a local pet shop owner and he Mrs, and she walks her dog up "Beachy Head, East Sussex" and she said she see's 8 of them dancing in the air above the sea just off Beachy Head, she has seen um a few times, some of them are yellow.

PS I am 45 yrs old and have NEVER seen anything like this before, also I know over 10 witnesses who have seen this orange light in Eastbourne.....
